For the Love of all Frugal Challenges!

**PrairieGirl** · 09-09-2008, 05:43 PM

I just wanted to say, in one large thread, how much I love reading these!! I'm glad that there are many of us doing them because its lovely to see everyones takes on how they approach situations. They may not all be identical, but I think we are all trying to reach a rather similar goal - a frugal lifestyle that is full of good times rather than deprived moments!!

So, to everyone old and new to a frugal challenge:

Thank you for updating your posts and sharing your experiences with us!!!!

What a sweet post! I too love reading other people's journeys, and I really appreciate the positive feedback I get on mine.

I love reading them, too!! And posting is making me "more accountable".

I hope everyone keeps posting...it's SOOOOO motivating!!!!

Agreed! Actually this is very immature but I am just about to pay off a rather large bill and the first thing I thought of was "Yay I'll get to update my siggy!" not "yay I'm handling my money well" ......I may need help!

I'm with ya! I do the "woo-hoo! I get to tell the FVer's!!".

And I'm excited about seeing the debt go away...

I just love that there are people I can share the excitement with! You all "get it"!

I totally agree. They have challenged and inspired me to keep on. A huge thank you to all the ladies and their challenges.

I'm there with you on the sig. I just found .11 cents and was wondering if I should put it in my change jar, so I could update my sig!

I'll be participating in more challenges in the upcoming year. It is inspiring.

That's good to know, because I will too. Can't wait to hear what everyone comes up with in regards to challenges.

**madhen** · 12-20-2008, 10:22 PM

We'll be expecting a few new ones from you, too, homesteadmamma!

I have to agree with all of you, the challenges are movtivational and very inspirational......I think its great when someone comes up with a new way to inspire others to jump on a "band wagon" and move on with the challenge. We all learn new ways, easier way, and keep each other company on the journey!
